Bart Simpson nude scenes of a sexual nature

Bart Simpson nude scenes of a sexual nature



Bart Simpson will appear nude in the new 'Simpsons' movie. The world famous cartoon troublemaker will "flash his little part to the entire world" in a scene where he has to skateboard naked after accepting a dare from father Homer.

Surprisingly, it is not the first time Bart has bared all.

In 2002, Rolling Stone magazine published a picture showing a baby Bart naked. The image was a recreation of the front cover of Nirvana's classic album 'Nevermind', which featured a naked baby swimming after a dollar bill on a fish hook.

'The Simpsons' has a history of animated nudity with nakedness or scenes of a sexual nature featuring over 200 times since the show first aired as a series in 1989.

The hotly anticipated movie is set to be released in July 2007.

Britney Spears Nude Bald Sad Plans Tell All Interview



Britney Spears has sparked a bidding war after deciding to do a tell-all interview.

The 'Toxic' singer - who in the last few months has shaved her head, gone to rehab, fired her manager and battled with her father while trying to relaunch her pop career - has Allure and Vanity Fair magazines fighting over her.

A representative for Allure magazine said: "We would love to have Britney, but nothing is scheduled yet."

biggest nude shoot in Mexico City


U.S. photographer hopes for biggest nude shoot in Mexico City

American photographer Spencer Tunick said Sunday he was hoping to draw his largest crowd of nude people for a shoot next month in Mexico City's enormous Zocalo plaza.

Tunick, famous for photographing crowds of nude people around the world, said the May 6 shoot could be bigger than one he did in 2003 with 7,000 volunteer models in Barcelona, Spain.
"This could be my largest work ever," Tunick told a news conference. "We're really hoping that all eyes will be on Mexico City on May 6 because this could be ... bigger than Barcelona."

The historic Zocalo plaza measures about 21,000 square yards - the size of about five football fields - and can fit up to 85,000 people standing.

The Brooklyn, N.Y. artist said he had all the necessary permits and the surrounding streets would be closed to traffic for the morning shoot.
The square, in one form or another, has been at the heart of Mexico City since it was founded by the Aztecs in 1325. When the Spanish conquered the city in 1521, they demolished the Aztec temples and palaces around the plaza and gave it much of its present form.

Lindsay Lohan Lesbian affair

Lindsay Lohan Lesbian affair rumour spreads



Lindsay Lohan is rumoured to be having a lesbian affair.

The Mean Girls star - who is currently in Japan for a fashion shoot - is said to be more than just friends with DJ Samantha Ronson, who has accompanied her on her trip.

Former publicist Jonathan Jaxson wrote in his blog at jonathanjaxson.blogspot.com: "Lindsay actually has always been quite open. Maybe she was tired of the boys and that is why she decided to spice it up with BFF (best friend forever) Samantha Ronson.

"Now I would have no bad things to say about either if Samantha wasn't deeply involved in alcohol and drugs. Not the best influence for a rehabbed Lindsay Lohan."

Jaxson claims Lindsay and Samantha's fledgling same-sex romance has been confirmed by his sources.

Lindsay, 20, arrives in London next month to begin shooting The Best Time of Our Lives - a biopic about the love life of poet Dylan Thomas - alongside Keira Knightley.

Lesbian Sex Book

Lesbian Sex Book



USA: Teens ÔtraumatisedÕ by lesbian book
A man from the American State of Arkansas is demanding the city pay him US$20,000 (NZ$26,836) for the Ôpain and sufferingÕ of his sons after they discovered a book on lesbian sex in their local library.
"[They were] greatly disturbed" said Earl Adams his letter to the city. "[We had] many sleepless nights in our house."
Adams wants US$10,000 per child, the maximum allowed under the Arkansas obscenity law.
Adams also wants the city to fire library director Cindy Suter.
The boys, aged 14 and 16, came across the book while the 14-year-old was looking for material on military academies.
The book, ÔThe Whole Lesbian Sex BookÕ by Felice Newman was moved to an inaccessible area of the library after Adams first complained, and then removed altogether following a second complaint from the man.
In a letter to Mayor Bob McCaslin, Adams said the book is "patently offensive and lacks any artistic, literary or scientific value."
A city attorney said that Adams' demand for money is without merit.
The city library board in removing the book said it will look for another volume on lesbians. If something Ômore appropriateÕ is not found, ÔThe Whole Lesbian Sex BookÕ will be returned.

Shaha Riza must be great in bed

Shaha Riza must be great in bed Bush boy Wolfowitz



Over at The World Bank, Paul Wolfowitz, the man who sat on the right of former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's throne and played a major role in manipulating false intelligence information to justify the invasion of Iraq, is caught up in an old-fashioned sex scandal.

Seems Wolfie, as President of the World Bank, promoted his girlfriend into a job with a tax-free salary higher than that of Secretary of State Condi Rice. Shaha Riza must be great in bed because Wolfowitz engineered a $60,000 salary hike for her in a job whose ever-changing title varies from "communications specialist" to "a senior gender coordinator" in a World Bank operation called the "Foundation for the Future."

We're not sure what the "Foundation for the Future" does but it apparently does great things for the financial future of Shaha Riza, whose tax-free paycheck now gives her a take-home salary of $193,590 a year.

Two architects of the Bush administration's dismantling of the Constitution and this nation's immersion into an ill-conceived war based on lies find themselves on the hot seat this week - one for memory lapses and the other for letting his Johnson overcome his judgment.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales tried, and failed, Thursday to convince skeptical Democrats and Republicans in the Senate that his memory is so bad that he needs to be reminded when he fires someone, when he tells an aide to fire someone or when he even tells the President of the United States he fired someone.

Gonzales, testifying about the ever-escalating scandal over dismissal of U.S. attorneys, repeated "I don't recall" so many times that people in the audience of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing kept tally sheets. His bumbling yet arrogant performance is just the kind of in-your-face political theater that defines the failed administration of President George W. Bush. It led to a second GOP Senator calling on Gonzales to resign and a public dressing down by Senior GOP Committee member Sen. Arlen Specter.

Posing Nude Gives Model Self Confidence

Posing Nude Gives Model Self Confidence



She is a student, an actress and a barista. She is 22 years old, 5 feet, 8 inches tall, has blue eyes and shoulder-length hair.
And she doesn't mind being nude in front of people.

Meredith Wachter, a senior theater performance major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, was looking for employment in the fall, flipping through the newspaper.
"Hey, you could be an art model!" her roommate said. She laughed and rolled her eyes.
Now, she has been modeling for a life drawing class at UNL for two semesters - about 10 times total.

"It was pretty nerve-rackingthe first time I went," Wachter said. "I'm a free person, pretty liberal, but I'm not about to run around naked."
While modeling, she pretended as if she were just a head, "a little face" - and nothing else. She still barely ever looks down when posing.
"It was really surreal," she said. "I couldn't believe I was standing in the middle of the room naked and everybody was just drawing."
"She made sure I was completely comfortable," Wachter said. "Things like putting on music that I liked or even putting a space heater next to you so that you don't get cold."
"Students (enrolled in the class) might be uncomfortable at first," said Michael Burton, the life drawing instructor this semester. "People get adjusted and get very objective toward the model."

Ulster pop princess Nadine Coyle has been named 27th in a list of the Sexiest Women in the World.

The Girls Aloud pop star, who hails from Londonderry, came in below fellow band members Cheryl Tweedy (7) and Sarah Harding (17).

But Nadine, who recently split from Desperate Housewives heart-throb Jesse Metcalfe, can take comfort from the fact that she was placed higher than Carmen Electra, Halle Berry, the OC's Rachel Bilson and Jennifer Aniston.

US actress Jessica Alba was crowned the Sexiest Woman in the World.

Bart Simpson goes full frontal

Bart Simpson goes full frontal



The storyline of The Simpsons Movie has been kept under wraps.

To make it on the big screen you have to give people something spectacular. Something extraordinary. Something like Bart Simpson - full frontal.

It happens early in The Simpsons Movie, when the animated 10-year-old takes a dare from his goofball father, Homer, to skateboard naked through the streets of Springfield. Hidden by plants and picket fences, he whizzes along, past kids, down hills, through traffic lights ... until, in one shocking moment, little Bart flashes his little part to the entire world. Which may make this the first Hollywood film to show that kind of skin and escape an R rating.

In a season bursting with comedies, including major animated fare - Shrek the Third and the new Pixar film Ratatouille - The Simpsons Movie is both the least hyped and the most anticipated.

Since the show debuted in 1989 it has built a fanatical fan base, earned 23 Emmys and generated more than $2.5 billion in revenue, if you include the never-ending T-shirts. Now in its 18th season, The Simpsons is the longest-running sitcom in history and is broadcast in more than 70 countries.

Voters in a BBC online poll in 2003 declared Homer Simpson "The Greatest American." Number two was Abraham Lincoln. "Homer is what other countries think America is like," says writer-producer Al Jean, who has been with the show since the beginning. "Voting for Homer was like saying, 'Screw you, America.' It's probably part of our success."

Angelina Jolie has a deadly disease

Angelina Jolie has a deadly disease


HOLLYWOOD star Angelina Jolie has a "deadly disease", an influential major showbiz newspaper is claiming.

The actress and campaginer for child poverty has sparked concern recently with a massive plunge in weight.

She appeared overnight at a charity news conference in Washington looking emaciated and exhausted.

America's The National Enquirer magazine is reporting this week that Jolie has a potentially fatal "serious health problem."

Pre-pulication shots of the cover show headlines claiming Jolie is "losing her hair", suffers "uncontrollable shaking" and is plagued by blinding headaches.

It also adds her beau Brad Pitt will stand by the actress, despite rumours as to the state of their relatinship.

Nude Gay Man In Heels Causes Lockdown

Nude Gay Man In Heels Causes Lockdown




(McMinnville, Oregon) A man wearing nothing but women's high heels was the cause of a building lockdown by police in downtown McMinnville.

The unidentified man was spotted sitting on a bench on the basement floor of a nearly vacant medical building.

After a call to 911 dispatchers, two McMinnville police units responded and were assisted by deputies from the Yamhill County Sheriffs Office and the Oregon State Police. The building was locked down and surrounded, but alas, no naked man.

The man was described as 40 to 50 years old, bald or with short white hair, of thin to medium build.

He was last seen running down one of the building's hallways in the heels, police said.

American Idol Boring Without Sanjaya Malakar

American Idol Boring Without Sanjaya Malakar



American Idol's former contestant, Sanjaya Malakar, has only been gone a week. It's only been seven days since Sanjaya Malakar sang his final notes on the American Idol stage.

According to a new poll by our friends at Usmagazine, nearly a third think the show is just boring without Sanjaya.

He made his appearance on CBS The 'Late Show' with David Letterman Monday night where the young, aspiring singer voiced a Top 10 list of "Things I Learned From American Idol."

According to the AP, the list included: 'nothing; the camera adds 10 pounds to your mohawk; work hard and make sacrifices, you can finish in seventh place; voting for yourself 100 times an hour causes some wicked carpal tunnel; and America loves performers with bad hair -- right, Dave?'

Sanjaya also made an appearance on 'Live With Regis and Kelly' on Monday

But like Us Magazine points out, we are all sensing that the show just isn't going to be the same without Malakar's ridiculous sense of style, questionable singing talent and endearing personality.

Victoria Beckham Sexy Underwear

Victoria Beckham Sexy Underwear



Victoria Beckham went on a mammoth shopping spree on a recent trip to Los Angeles.

The 32 year old mum of three spent $4000 on the sexy underwear when she visited the Under G Lingerie store.

Tmz reported that she then went to the childrenÕs department and spent a further $2000 on her three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

PoshÕs spending spree will hardly leave a dent in her and her husbandÕs finances. David Beckham is one of the highest earning celebrities in the world and PoshÕs successful fashion lines have contributed to the BeckhamÕs millions.

As well as splashing out on herself and her children- new goddaughter Bluebelle Madonna will most likely benefit from her generosity. Ex- spice Girl and fellow band mate Geri Halliwell recently asked Victoria to stand as her godmother.

A source told the Sun:" "Victoria was thrilled to be asked to be godmother. Although they fell out when Geri walked out on the Spice Girls years ago, they became really close again."

Kirsten Dunst Boob Job



There aren't many jobs out there that require bigger boobs.

But Kirsten Dunst says that Spider-Man 3 was one of them.

She's revealed that the cleavage she sports in the film isn't all her own...

Kirst told The Sun:

"I had to wear a padded bra on this movie, but I get it. It's OK, it's part of the thing.

"I didn't feel like it was sexist or anything. I embraced my Mary Jane boobs!

"I know that her boobs are usually enhanced on the action figure toys as well."

As long as you're cool with it Kirst, that's all that matters.

Sanjaya marijuana growing mom

Sanjaya marijuana growing mom



Sanjaya's bad singing and interesting and ever changing hairdo's could be a result of his childhood - growing up in a pot house.While there is no direct connection between the two, the National Enquirer newspaper has reportedly learned that the "American Idol" contestant was raised by a marijuana-growing mother.

The tabloid has discovered, via legal documents, that Mrs. Sanjaya, Jillian Blyth, was arrested after police found 310 'pot plants' in her home in 2005. She then spent a month in jail - a good deal less than the five year maximum sentence.
News that Sanjaya's mother was a drug dealer come at the same time that he has revealed he knows how to treat women because he was raised by them.

Although many in the media have pegged the 17-year-old 'singer' as a new homosexual star, Sanjaya insists that he is straight and just very, very understanding to what women want.
He told PEOPLE, "I've always gotten along with girls better because I was raised by women. I got teased in school because people figured I must be gay because I understand women."

The wanna-be star's popularity while on "Idol" was possibly a result of both male and female fans, but Sanjaya says that hasn't always been the case.
Sanjaya even had a girlfriend before finding his 15 minutes of fame.

Spiderman 3 DVD $1

Spiderman 3 DVD $1



Spider-man 3 DVDs hit streets of Beijing?In China, a bootleg DVD of Spider-man 3 has hit the streets with a $1 price tag, premiering 2 weeks before the movie even debuts in the US.
This latest report is sure to anger the MPAA and American movie distributors especially because the movie reportedly cost $500 million dollars to make.

Earlier this month, the US filed complaints against China with the WTO claiming the China was not doing enough to punish movie pirates and that their restrictions on media imports were violating trade rules. China criticized the move and the Vice Premier, Wu Yi, threatened that the complaints would "badly damage" cooperation, and emphasized that China was doing alot to enforce copyright protections.

"The United States Trade Representative, the USTR, has totally ignored the massive strides China has made," Wu told an intellectual property forum in Beijing.

Sony however, has so far claimed that the DVDs are a hoax and are really just copies of Spider-man 2. In a statement Sony reported that "Contrary to news reports about stolen copies of 'Spider-Man 3' being sold illegally on the streets in China, our investigation in China has revealed no case of the film being pirated to date...After an initial investigation of online sites worldwide, we have so far found no pirated copies of 'Spider-Man 3' on the Internet."

Sony also added that so far investigators in China have failed to find anything other than Spider-man 2 DVDs in Spider-man 3 boxes.

Jessica Simpson & Britney Spears Sex Lives



There's nothing like the sex question for young starlets. Before Jessica Simpson found love with rocker John Mayer, constant speculation was slammed at her about who exactly she was sleeping with. Britney Spears has been linked with guys at rehab on tennis courts and has her secrets have been spilled by former lovers Jason Alexander and Isaac Cohen. It seems like very little is secret for Britney thanks to her exes.

Jessica Simpson & Britney Spears Sex Lives Questioned by Portman

But that wasn't always the case for the two pop singers. In their younger days part of their routine when slammed with reports and questions like 'who are you sleeping with now' surfaced there were always denials.

***

Now when Natalie Portman gets the same type of queries she says she is stunned. According to a report from MSNBC's 'The Scoop' the gorgeous actress politely told a reporter it was none of his business if she was dating her ÒGoyaÕs GhostsÓ co-star, Gael Garcia Bernal.

Jeannette Walls notes that the 25-year-old actress added she was always shocked when reporters asked her when she was in her late teens if she was a virgin. ÒRemember there was that time when Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson were proclaiming their virginity,Ó Portman told the London Guardian. ÒI was like, ÔAre you kidding?ÕÓ

Iraq terrorists to the U.S. McCain predicts

Iraq terrorists to the U.S. McCain predicts


GREENVILLE, S.C. Ð Republican presidential contender John McCain predicated Thursday as the Senate prepared to vote on a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq that terrorists Òwill follow us home.Ó

McCain, who was campaigning in this early voting state and didn't plan to vote on the bill containing the withdrawal timetable, said the consequences of withdrawal would be severe.

ÒIf we leave Iraq there will be chaos, there will be genocide, and they will follow us home,Ó the Arizona senator said, calling the war against al-Qaeda Òa struggle between good and evil.Ó

On Wednesday, the House brushed aside a veto threat and passed legislation that would order President Bush to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq by Oct. 1.

As the furor grows over the firings of eight federal prosecutors, McCain also broke with President Bush, saying that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales should leave office.

ÒHis best loyalty to the president would be served by stepping down,Ó McCain said during a morning campaign stop.

Porn Star Against Porn Tax

Porn Star Against Porn Tax


State Ready to Debate Issue

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The adult entertainment impact fund sponsored by Whittier Democratic Assemblyman Charles Calderon would raise tax money from adult media and live shows.

But the plan is already generating opposition.

Porn star Mary Carey, who ran for governor in 2003, was back at the Capitol on Monday trying to stop the porn tax bill.

The $3-billion industry in California employs 50,000 workers.

Carey said it would be just another tax driving away business.

"People are just going to get it from other places," Carey said. "If there is a tax here, they'll just order more online or from other countries and that's not going to benefit California in any way."

Caldron said the tax is not about morals but a way to help balance the state budget.

Vermont votes to impeach Bush

Vermont votes to impeach Bush



Vermont - Vermont senators voted on Friday to call for the impeachment of President George W Bush and vice-president Dick Cheney, saying their actions in Iraq and the US "raise serious questions of constitutionality".

The non-binding resolution was approved 16-9 without debate - all six Republicans in the chamber at the time and three Democrats voted against it.

The resolution was the latest, symbolic, effort in the state to impeach Bush.

In March, 40 towns in the state known for its liberal leaning voted in favour of similar, non-binding resolutions at their annual meetings.

State lawmakers in Wisconsin and Washington have pushed for similar resolutions.

The resolution says Bush and Cheney's actions in the US and abroad, including in Iraq, "raise serious questions of constitutionality, statutory legality, and abuse of the public trust".

"I think it's going to have a tremendous political effect, a tremendous political effect on public discourse about what to do about this president," said James Leas, a vocal advocate of withdrawing troops from Iraq and impeaching Bush and Cheney.

Vermont lawmakers earlier voted to demand an immediate troop withdrawal from Iraq in another non-binding resolution.

Democratic house speaker Gaye Symington has kept a similar resolution from reaching the floor in her chamber.

Taliban Bin Laden planned Cheney attack

Taliban Bin Laden planned Cheney attack


CAIRO, Egypt - A top Taliban commander said al-Qaida leader
Osama bin Laden was behind the February attack outside the U.S. military base in Bagram,
Afghanistan, during the visit there by Vice President
Dick Cheney, according to an interview shown Wednesday by Arab broadcaster Al-Jazeera.

Bin Laden planned and supervised the attack that killed 23 people outside the base during Cheney's visit, said Mullah Dadullah, the Taliban's main military commander in southern Afghanistan who has had close associations with al-Qaida.

"You may remember the martyr operation inside the Bagram base, which targeted a senior U.S. official. ... That operation was the result of his wise planning. He (bin Laden) planned that operation and guided us through it. The operation was a success," Dadullah told Al-Jazeera.

He did not say how he knew that bin Laden planned the attack, and it was not immediately clear when the interview took place.

Jessica Lynch Bush Pentagon Heroes Lies

Jessica Lynch Bush Pentagon Heroes Lies


Jessica Lynch Sets Record Straight

On Tuesday, former Army Pvt. Jessica Lynch testified in Washington, D.C., about the real story of her capture and rescue while serving in Iraq in 2003.

She spoke before the House Government Reform Committee along with the family of fallen Army Ranger Pat Tillman.

Tillman, a former professional football player who joined the Army Rangers after Sept. 11, was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan. At first the military said he was killed by enemy fire and even posthumously awarded him the Silver Star.

Lynch was badly injured when her convoy was ambushed in Iraq in 2003. She was later rescued by American troops from an Iraqi hospital, but the tale of her ambush was changed into a story of heroism on her part.

"It meant a lot, really, it did, especially to come out for the Tillman family," Lynch told The Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith. "They really need answers. And, you know, they have tons and tons of questions that are just unanswered. And they need that."

At the hearing, the chairman of the House panel, Henry Waxman, accused the government of inventing "sensational details and stories" about Tillman's death and Lynch rescue. After she arrived home, Lynch set the record straight in a book called "I Am a Soldier, Too."

"At first I didn't even realize É the stories that were being told," she said. "It was quite a while afterwards, and then I found out. It was a little disappointing. And I knew that I had to get the truth out there because, one, I wouldn't be able to live with myself ... knowing that these stories were portraying me to do something that I didn't."

Gay sex in Singapore

Gay sex in Singapore



Singapore - Singapore's founding leader Lee Kuan Yew has questioned the city-state's ban on gay sex, saying the government should not be the moral police on the issue, reported a newspaper.

"If in fact it is true, and I have asked doctors this, that you are genetically born a homosexual - because that's the nature of the genetic random transmission of genes - you can't help it," Lee was quoted as saying in The Straits Times newspaper.

"So why should we criminalise it?"

Under proposed changes to its legislation, Singapore will decriminalise oral and anal sex for adult heterosexuals, but will keep a ban on gay sex.

The amendments are scheduled to be debated in parliament later this year.

But Lee, who was prime minister from 1959 until 1990 and remains influential in the government under the title of "Minister Mentor", also said the government could not ignore conservative views, said the report.

Playboy model Holly Madison naked

Playboy model Holly Madison naked



You might see Playboy model Holly Madison, star of The Girls Next Door, wearing bunny ears, but one thing you'll never see her in is bunny fur-or any animal's fur, for that matter.

Hugh Hefner's number one honey bunny-who shares both Hef and his home, the Playboy Mansion, with fellow Girls Next Door stars Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson in the popular E! Channel reality show-is so passionate about saving animals killed for their fur that the blond bombshell bared her bunny tail alongside the tagline "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur."

It's no wonder that this "mistress of the Mansion pooches"-who adores all animals, especially the nine lucky pups currently bunking with the trio of buxom beauties-was outraged when we told her that animals, including cats and dogs, are kept in tiny cages and strangled, beaten, electrocuted, and often skinned alive for their fur. As Holly knows, nice girls-and guys, too!-always fake it. With so many beautiful and warm faux furs available, there's no reason-or excuse-to kill animals for their fur.

Mac OS Cracked in Hack Attack

Mac OS Cracked in Hack Attack



Two security researchers at Canada's CanSecWest conference won big for being the first to hack into a Macintosh computer during a contest at the event. Initial interest in the contest was relatively lackluster, but then Tipping Point, a security vendor, upped the ante with a $10,000 bonus to the first person who could successfully hack one of the Macs using a previously unknown bug.


Just one day following Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) Latest News about Apple release of a security Barracuda Spam Firewall Free Eval Unit - Click Here update containing 25 patches, two security researchers at the CanSecWest conference held in Vancouver, British Columbia, were able to hack into a MacBook using a zero-day exploit in Apple's Safari browser.

Shane Macauley, a software engineer, and Dino Dai Zovi, a security researcher, undertook the challenge as part of the "PWN to Own" Hack-a-Mac contest hosted by conference organizers.

The two were awarded a MacBook Pro computer and a US$10,000 prize.

Stefani Schaeffer Wins The Apprentice job

Stefani Schaeffer Wins The Apprentice job



After a grueling thirteen-week interview process, conducted in front of Donald Trump, along with the rest of the nation, the four finalists of The Apprentice were whittled down to one, as Stefani Schaeffer was hired by Trump at the conclusion of the reality show's sixth season. Stefani Schaeffer managed to beat out James Sun in the final firing session, after fellow finalists Nicole D'Ambrosio and Frank Lombardi were both chopped from the show. Stefani Schaeffer, the 32-year-old corporate lawyer from California, took home the title of The Apprentice Sunday night during a live finale broadcast from the Hollywood Bowl.

Donald Trump selected the 32-year-old Schaeffer over 29-year-old James Sun, an Internet entrepreneur from Seattle, during the season finale of The Apprentice: Los Angeles on Sunday night. The shows viewers were kept in suspense until the final minute, when Donald Trump offered up his trademark lines. "James, you're fired. Stefani, you're hired," said Trump, thereby ending the sixth season of his popular reality TV series. Schaeffer had been cool under pressure as she made her final pitch to the real-estate mogul turned reality TV star. "I was never under fire in the boardroom," Schaeffer told Donald Trump. The Associated Press carried Schaeffer's comments as she said, "Not once did you ever see me brought back by any team members, nor did you ever hear a negative word spoken about me from day one of this process." That pitch seemed to win over Donald Trump, as he replied, "That's largely true."

Wife Knew He Was Gay

Wife Knew He Was Gay



Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey's wife, Matos McGreevey, apparently knew that her husband was gay well before he made it public in a press conference in August 2004, according to a report published today in the New York Post.

Until now both McGreeveys have maintained that Matos found out about her husband's sexual orientation the same day he announced it to the press in a press conference. But according to several anonymous sources in the New York Post, Matos was aware of the fact that her husband was gay before his public announcement.

McGreevey left office in November 2004 after he admitted to having an affair with a male employee. Matos filed for divorce in February 2005, and a fight for custody and visitation rights for their 5-year-old daughter Jacqueline ensued.

Sheryl Crow toilet paper War

Sheryl Crow toilet paper War



Songstress Sheryl Crow is calling for a limit on toilet paper.

The green minded singer Crow has said a ban on using too much toilet paper should be considered to help the environment, according to the BBC.
In an unheard of celebrity tutorial on mindful Earth friendly tips, Crow suggests using "only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required".

The BBC unearthed this gem of information on her website.

Crow completed a tour while traveling on a biodiesel-powered bus. She teamed up with environmental activist Laurie David for the shows.
"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting...I have spent the better part of this tour trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming," Crow wrote reported the BBC.

"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting."

Lindsay Lohan MySpace Account Hacked

Lindsay Lohan MySpace Account Hacked


Private Emails Emerge

I cannot,and I repeat NOT, emphasize enough how much young Hollywood resembles junior high. If it werenÕt so incredibly pathetic and deeply sad, it would be hilarious.

It seems that a hacker got into the MySpace account for Lindsay Lohan and had access to pictures, old messages and email exchanges between Lindsay, Shanna Moakler, Paris Hilton and Stavros Niarchos. Just Jared has the released screen shots, and it seems that ONTD broke the story yesterday (and doesnÕt appreciate people not crediting them, thank you very much!). JJ says there are more to come, stay tuned. I canÕt freaking wait.

There are some rather boring, but telling exchanges between Lindsay and Shanna Moakler which seemed to be taking place at the time when ShannaÕs estranged husband, Travis Barker and she, were attempting to repair their relationship. But the gem in the tiara of bitchiness was the exchange between Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan about blogger Perez Hilton and his clearly biased relationship with the heiress-turned-professional celebrity.

Many are speculating, but nobody knows for sure. Does this beauty only pout her lips well for photography necessities or did she really have them surgically enlarged? If a picture is worth a thousand words, we can easily conclude that her lips are larger than they used to be.

Lindsay Lohan, actress and singer, started appearing in many commercials as a child already and today, apart from her work, she is famous for her wild night life and numerous scandals.

The Dutch Cannabis Smoke here to stay

The Dutch Cannabis Smoke here to stay



Could a smoking ban spell the end of Amsterdam's world famous coffee shops, where smoking cannabis is one of the main attractions?

No chance, says local conservative politician and coffee shop owner Michael Veling.

The Dutch may well follow other European countries in banning tobacco smoking in restaurants, cafes and bars, but Veling says it should still be possible to smoke dope.

"It is ridiculous to think that a smoking ban would be the end of coffee shops," the 50-year-old Veling says.

He says the clientele who have been coming to coffee shops to buy and inhale cannabis are flexible enough to find a way around any ban on smoking the tobacco products they routinely mix with marijuana resin or leaf in rolled paper "joints."

"You can bring parsley or old socks if you want, cut them here and smoke them, nobody will say anything," Veling said.

"Plus there are plants that have a every similar structure to tobacco and can maybe substitute for it."

Al Qaeda Strikes Back

Al Qaeda Strikes Back

Al Qaeda is a more dangerous enemy today than it has ever been before. It has suffered some setbacks since September 11, 2001: losing its state within a state in Afghanistan, having several of its top operatives killed, failing in its attempts to overthrow the governments of Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. But thanks largely to Washington's eagerness to go into Iraq rather than concentrate on hunting down al Qaeda's leaders, the organization now has a solid base of operations in the badlands of Pakistan and an effective franchise in western Iraq. Its reach has spread throughout the Muslim world, where it has developed a large cadre of operatives, and in Europe, where it can claim the support of some disenfranchised Muslim locals and members of the Arab and Asian diasporas. Osama bin Laden has mounted a successful propaganda campaign to make himself and his movement the primary symbols of Islamic resistance worldwide. His ideas now attract more followers than ever.
Decisively defeating al Qaeda will be more difficult now than it would have been a few years ago. But it can still be done, if Washington and its partners implement a comprehensive strategy over several years, one focused on both attacking al Qaeda's leaders and ideas and altering the local conditions that allow them to thrive. Otherwise, it will only be a matter of time before al Qaeda strikes the U.S. homeland again.

Captured al Qaeda leader moved to Gitmo

Captured al Qaeda leader moved to Gitmo

The CIA has captured a senior al Qaeda commander who served as a liaison between al Qaeda leaders in Pakistan and the terrorist group's franchise in Iraq. U .S. military and intelligence officials announced Friday that Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi, a native of Mosul in northern Iraq, was captured in late 2006 as he tried to re-enter the country.

This week, after more than four months of interrogations, the CIA transferred him to the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay. Al-Iraqi joined 14 other designated high-value detainees, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

Officials would not disclose what, if anything, al-Iraqi told CIA interrogators about the whereabouts of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who is believed to be in Pakistan near the Afghanistan border. Officials would not identify the country in which al-Iraqi was nabbed.

A U.S. intelligence official, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity, said al-Iraqi provided "significant amounts of information" on al Qaeda's current structure. The official said al-Iraqi was advocating attacks on Iranian targets as well as more bombings in Iraq.
